Respectfully, Future Nobel Laureate (estimated date: 2019) Current owner of a slightly dented model rocket. Would you like a shorter version suitable for a school hearing, or a memo from Mary Cooper defending him to the committee?
In Young Sheldon S04E01, Sheldon faces the MPC after his “unauthorized rocket launch” in the previous season. This paper is meant to be his formal, rational defense. Subject: A rational analysis of the Medford High School rocket launch incident, with recommendations for future protocol. young sheldon s04 mpc
Furthermore, I calculated the launch angle, wind speed, and mass distribution. The rocket did exactly what it was supposed to do. The only unpredictable variable was Coach Wilkins’s tackle technique, which I rate 2 out of 10 — poor form, no follow-through. The committee argues that I should have requested permission. I did. The request was ignored. In science, when an authority figure ignores a valid request, you proceed with data collection. That is called progress. This paper is meant to be his formal, rational defense
Also, I note that the school allows the football team to launch human beings at each other at high velocity every Friday night, sometimes causing concussions. A 3-ounce cardboard tube with a plastic nose cone is objectively less dangerous. The rocket did exactly what it was supposed to do
